Dagens.de Lavrov angry, calls Russia's biggest enemy in the north Article by Peter Zeifert • 2 hours. In a recent interview, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described Sweden as Russia's main adversary in the north. Lavrov accused Sweden of being a puppet of the United States and taking part in military exercises against Russia. He also criticized Sweden for allowing US military bases on its territory, which he sees as a direct threat to Russian security. Swedish officials have not yet responded to Lavrov's allegations. However, the country has already declared that it follows a policy of non-alignment and has no US military bases on its territory. This is not the first time that Russia has expressed its dissatisfaction with Sweden. Relations between the two countries have been strained for years, particularly since Sweden has been considering joining NATO, which Russia strongly opposes.
